I was still using AFP to mount storage from my Synology NAS. This holds my Time Machine backups, Plex media library, and some other storage archives as well. AFP had historically been more reliable than SMB/CIFS for mounting network storage. Over ti…

A few years ago when the corporate IT department really started locking down and monitoring devices, I made a hard line in the sand between work and personal computing. - I have two phones, one for work, one for home. - I have separate Apple IDs fo…

When Apple re-releases a macOS build like this (build number changes, but version stays the same), it’s generally only for future installations of the software. Apple has deemed the changes minor enough that people already running 17.6.1 do not need…

Apple has said that new iPhone purchases get 2 years of satellite service included with the purchase. I haven’t seen pricing for the plans after that 2 year intro period. Have they provided that information and I just missed it so far?

Discover announced their full 5% bonus schedule for 2022 at the end of 2021, so not really new news, but good to remind people of it and how to take advantage of it. I have a “Credit Card Priority” note in my Notes app on the phone. I use this to t…

This is why I don’t like scheduling payments on the actual due date. When possible, I schedule them for about a week in advance. I have my Apple Card set to automatically pay the previous statement balance on the 25th instead of waiting until the la…

Did the clipboard monitoring function make it into the GA release? I haven’t seen it flash a notice yet, but I’m also pretty selective on what apps I load on my iPhone and iPad. I tried manually pasting and that didn’t generate and alert, but that m…

For people in California, I wonder what the validity of using this app from Virginia is going to be. If you read the README file on the iOS App Store, it says when your test results come back as positive and are sent to the Virginia Department of He…

For those of us that don’t subscribe to Apple News+, is there a way to keep the News app from offering these articles to you in the Today feed? The other ads are easy to spot as ads and skip over, but these look exactly the same (other than the smal…

Kopfschmerzen said: Facebook has no permission to use a camera or a microphone on my phone. Seems like it never asked for it (so hopefully can’t use them). I would deny access if it asked though, that’s for sure. If you want to verify for…

I didn’t see mention of it, but I assume Theater Mode shuts down the always-on display on the new watch.

Mojave can run 32-bit apps just fine. I don’t think I had any more compatibility issues with old software running under Mojave that weren’t already there in High Sierra. Do not upgrade to the replacement for Mojave coming later this year until you …

I don’t think blocking or screening helps the problem of robocalls. Those responses just pushes the problem onto other people. Robocalls are popular because they have “no” cost. I use the service from Jolly Roger Telephone to help with this. JR imp…

Apple - the ultimate in /r/choosingbeggars (asking people to do a photo shoot or complete some other skilled task for free but you get the exposure is a common theme of posts to this subreddit)

3 months ago, I sent a Series 2 Apple Watch in to repair a cracked screen. I received an empty box (no watch, but all packing materials) back from Apple with the security tape on the outside of the box having been broken. After a little over a week,…

Ah, AT&T. Gotta love your FauxG networks. They’re the “best”!

Spam e-mails, phone calls, and app notifications are successful because there is no real cost to the vendor that sends them out. Junk mail folders don’t work for email because there is no additional cost to the sender. Telemarking call blocking does…

I enjoy the $10/year/phoneline service from Jolly Roger Telephone. Instead of just blocking the scammer calls, which does nothing to solve the problem of robocalls, it gets on the phone and plays the part of the victim, wasting the time of a real pe…

Power is only uninterrupted if the USB port does not also provide data. If the IOS devices senses data on the USB port, it needs to be out of USB Restricted Mode before charging starts. if you’re in restricted mode, your iPhone will not charge when…
